Travel Tuesday - Enter Stage Right


Back in March of 2020, we spent a night in London, and met our dear friends Duncan and Stephen for dinner a private club in the theater district.  We took the Tube across town, got terribly lost with Ms. Google giving us directions to walk in the wrong direction, called Stephen who came and rescued us.  On the way back to the club (that sadly has since closed and is not expected to reopen) we passed this stage door.  It had been the entrance to his work, on and off for a few years.  He is a lighting technician, lighting director in London Theaters.  

He announced recently, that he will soon be returning to work.  What joy, the lights in the theaters are coming back on, enter stage right!

    I've found the exterior of English buildings give little away about what they are like inside. With small windows, they always seem so closed against the world. I think it would be Mr Google who steered you wrongly. Ms Google would have asked for confirmation of directions.

    1. H Club, it catered to people who worked in the theater and creative arts, S had a membership through a trade group for an affordable price. The food was good, they had no clue how to make a gin martini.
